Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: OK1428
Rating:3.7
Comments:
After having several cases before Judge Walke I agree with the previous attorney who said the judge has an anger problem.

I've watched him yell at several attorneys and litigants, threaten them with arrest, etc...when they were merely annoying him, not committing any action that would justify contempt of court or being yelled at. Have watched him belittle and insult litigants for no apparent reason, and deciding cases emotionally -- ruling against a party he was annoyed with -- instead of on the merits.

Also agree with previous litigant who said the judge does not always apply civil law as he should, or understand complex cases.

I have sat in his courtroom and observed. He is fair and does his best to give both parties unbiased treatment. He is compassionate and listenes with concern. I do feel he is one of the better judges I have observed.
